[Dillon Farmer]

Further to my posting some months ago about theultimatesteal (student
promotion) and a Vista Ultimate upgrade, you may remember MS in its' T's
& C's provided for a variety of qualifying operating systems. One of
those was Win98. Leaving out the technical problems of upgrading via
that path, MS has now changed its' T's & C's to exclude any OS's from
which a direct upgrade is not possible.

Whilst MS gave me a product key for a full edition of Vista Ultimate
with Win98 as the qualifying OS under the old terms, with the new this
is no longer possible.

I can only surmise MS did not intend the deal as originally advertised.

Leroy,

As a matter of interest do you deny the T's & C's have changed?

If they have changed why?

If you think you are corresponding with a Microsoft representative - you're
NOT.

We are all volunteers here and have our own lives and jobs.

DigitalRiver (DR) were totally useless in resolving my installation
problem some months ago. They could not even understand the issue. I
ended up having to quote "legal" chapter and verse to MS before they
would honour their contract.

Now, as I had raised this "installation" problem here (and received
helpful responses) it seemed only proper that I should send a follow-up
lest someone was labouring under the illusion the old terms still apply.

The change in T's & C's is a matter entirely in the domain of MS. NOT DR
who act behalf of MS.

To be directed to DR on this matter, therefore, is something of a time
wasting exercise which as a person with a life and job I'm sure you can
appreciate.

"Digital River" is merely an organization that handles money
transactions for companies on the 'net.
